“#Biden, not Trump, is the ‘leader’ who spells COVID disaster<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n The lie driving this election is that President Trump is to blame for the nation\u2019s COVID deaths. Democrats have blanketed the country with ads claiming Trump bungled the virus response. Joe Biden blames Trump for 230,000 deaths. Gov. Andrew Cuomo, too, is parroting the lie, even though it\u2019s Cuomo who has blood on his hands, for forcing nursing homes to take in infected patients.<\/p>\n

Trump may taunt \u201cCOVID, COVID, COVID,\u201d but actions are what count. He marshalled private companies to produce massive supplies of ventilators, erected field hospitals and swept away regulations to speed up the development of treatments. The COVID death rate in the United States has plummeted 70 percent since March, according to data from NYU Langone, largely because hospitals are equipped and doctors have more tools.<\/p>\n

How does that stack up against the rest of the world? A COVID patient in the United States has a better chance of surviving than in France, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Italy or many other countries, according to Johns Hopkins data. Not just slightly better \u2014 often twice as good a chance. You don\u2019t hear that from CNN.<\/p>\n

No leader has full control over where the virus hits. The difference is how they respond: France\u2019s President Emmanuel Macron and the UK\u2019s Boris Johnson are locking down their countries again, even while acknowledging the painful impact on livelihoods and mental health.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat the hell are they doing?\u201d Trump exclaimed. Locking down didn\u2019t protect Europe. The virus is back. Lockdowns are the wrong way to go, but it\u2019s what Joe Biden would do, too.<\/p>\n

Biden says he\u2019d consult the scientists and shut down the US economy if \u201cthe scientists\u201d recommend it. Hey, Joe: How about consulting working people, who don\u2019t get a paycheck unless they are allowed to go to their jobs?<\/p>\n

Lockdowns are an elitist scam. Trump reminds voters that government officials, teachers and executives who support lockdowns get their paychecks no matter what. Some \u201ceven hire private tutors for their children,\u201d Trump adds. It\u2019s working people who suffer from \u201ccrippling shutdowns.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last spring, Trump heeded scientific advisers and closed the US for some 45 days. That cratered the economy, led to 40 million unemployment claims by late May and caused drug overdoses, suicides, alcoholism and other deaths of despair.<\/p>\n

Trump saw the disastrous results and pivoted fast to a better strategy: opening up the economy, getting people back to work and school, targeting the elderly and other vulnerable populations for protection and letting people make their own decisions.<\/p>\n

The pivot produced impressive results. The United States just completed the strongest quarterly surge in gross domestic product in the nation\u2019s history, undoing about two thirds of the lockdown damage. All while reducing the death rate from the virus.<\/p>\n

At every campaign stop, Trump pledges \u201cwe will never lock down again.\u201d<\/p>\n

What would a Biden economy look like? Look at states run by pro-lockdown Democratic governors. Including New York. Unemployment is double what it is in red states. Many Democratic governors are petty tyrants. They put their boot on the necks of small-business owners, forcing them to close and lose everything.<\/p>\n

Forty-four thousand medical and public-health experts have signed the Great Barrington Declaration warning about the \u201cdamaging physical and mental health impacts\u201d of lockdowns.<\/p>\n

Disregarding the complexities, President Barack Obama told a Flint, Mich., crowd this weekend that Joe \u201cwill get the virus under control.\u201d And Biden said, \u201cIf you want to get rid of the virus, you have to get rid of Trump.\u201d That\u2019s demagoguery.<\/p>\n

Only a vaccine can defeat the virus, and Trump is ahead of other world leaders on that front.<\/p>\n

Early on, Trump launched Operation Warp Speed, an unprecedented collaboration with four pharmaceutical giants to create eight competing vaccine platforms. Not one or two but eight, because failure isn\u2019t an option. A vaccine will likely be ready within weeks.<\/p>\n

Compare that with the failure of the Obama-Biden administration, which foolishly banked on one effort to produce a vaccine for the H1N1 flu in 2009.<\/p>\n

Now, Biden is telling voters that Trump \u201cwaved the white flag.\u201d It\u2019s a lie.<\/p>\n

Betsy McCaughey, a former lieutenant governor of New York, is author of the new book \u201cThe Next Pandemic.\u201d <\/em>\n <\/div>\n
